Grateful & Victorious Series

I want to ask you a question. Who are you? Besides your career, your education, your family, Strip all of you down. Again, who are you?

If we go to the book of Ephesians 1 and 2, being a believer and having the faith. It tells you who you really are. So, today, we know we are victorious and we are grateful. 1. Ephesians 1:3-God has given us every spiritual blessing in heaven.

4 In Christ, he chose me before the world was made. He chose me in love to be his holy people—people who could stand before him without any fault.

5 And before the world was made, God decided to make me his own child through Jesus Christ.

This was what God wanted, and it pleased him to do it.

6 And this brings praise to God because of his wonderful grace. God gave that grace to me freely. He gave us that grace in Christ, the one he loves.

7 In Christ I am made free by his blood sacrifice. I am forgiveness of sins because of God’s rich grace.

8 God gave me that grace fully and freely. With full wisdom and understanding

9 he let me know his secret plan. This was what God wanted, and he planned to do it through Christ.

10 God’s goal was to finish his plan when the right time came. He planned that all things in heaven and on earth be joined together with Christ as the head.

11 In Christ i am chosen to be God’s people. God had already planned for me to be his people, because that is what he wanted. And he is the one who makes everything agree with what he decides and wants.

13 I am saved. Ive been given the good news. The true message. About the way God saved me. I believe in Christ. And in Christ, God put his special mark on me by giving me the Holy Spirit that he promised.

14 The Spirit is the first payment that guarantees that I get all that God has for me. Then I will enjoy complete freedom as people who belong to him. The goal for me is the praise of God in all his glory....

This month is about being grateful and through Jesus, we have the victory. John 1:1 is a foundational New Testament verse that introduces Jesus Christ as the eternal "Word" (Logos) who existed with God from the beginning and was God, establishing His divinity and role in creation, stating: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (ESV). This verse connects Jesus (the Word) to God's presence and revelation, showing He is both distinct from God (with God) and divine in nature (was God), a key concept in Christian theology. ...

In essence, The Greek term Logos refers to God's divine expression, reason, and active presence, used by philosophers but redefined by John as a personal being, Jesus.

Eternity: "In the beginning" points to a time before creation, indicating the Word's eternal pre-existence.

Divinity & Relationship: The Word was with God (distinct) and was God (sharing the same divine nature), a cornerstone for the doctrine of the Trinity (God in three persons).

Creator: Following verses (John 1:3) explain that all things were made through Him, solidifying His role in creation.

In essence, John 1:1 declares Jesus' eternal, divine nature, identifying Him as God's ultimate revelation and the source of all creation, long before He became flesh (John 1:14). ..

This past week the spiritual devotion to us to a place of realizing that all that we've been going through is much bigger than us. 1 John 4:4..

My dear children, you belong to God, so you have already defeated these false prophets. That’s because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

In otherwords, ARE YOU OF GOD????, LISTEN UP, YOU ALREADY HAVE THE VICTORY: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.Greater is he that is in me.

We fear NOONE. WHY? Because we CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST THAT STRENGTHENS US, AS WE BELIEVE IN JESUS.(Philippines 4:13)

I was looking at "Ready To Love"yesterday and one of the ladies went down to the bottom thus facing elimination because of her disconnecting of Jesus from God; she doesn't believe in the Trinity and the men have concerns as they should.

"Why go into the house when at the door there's problems?"

HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

If God is for me,WHO can be against me?

Throughout this year, The TRIUNE God has given us so much to victory. God's power is greater than any force that could possibly oppose you.
